I just wanted to let anyone know that I have developed a free toolbar to download as a Firefox or Internet Explorer add-on: http://qabiria.ourtoolbar.com This add-on gathers up in one place many search features, RSS feeds, useful tools and links, all of them especially selected for language professionals.

I know this may sound like an ad, but please consider that there is no multinational behind this project: it's only me and another colleague, also a Proz member. We would like to spread the news, because we thought that it was about time to have the tools we normally use when translating (and managing projects) gathered all together in one place. Obviously, we are more than happy to receive feedback about it and to modify it in order to make the bar fit the needs of the translators' community.

I am always interested in supporting fellow ProZ members in their technological endeavors. However, before I even went to your website, my Finjan SecureBrowsing program listed your website as potentially malicious.

Here is the message:
Finjan SecureBrowsing has analyzed the above web address as it currently exists on the web.

On the other hand, if you receive the alert while surfing our home http://www.qabiria.com , I suppose that the script causing the alert is the Live Chat module, which is released by www.meebo.com , a more than trusted web-based instant messaging system which provide instant messaging and group chat to over 40 million people.

If you have a detailed report of the alert you receive, I will be glad to have a copy of it so I can pinpoint the exact problem. As far as I am concerned, it is a false positive.

Best regards

Marco Cevoli

Hi Marco,
I just downloaded your toolbar. It's very nice. It has some great features, too.
I think your toolbar will be a superb tool.
If I could make a wish, or even two wishes, OK, three wishes, this is what they would be:

1. I would like to add my own frequently used sites.
2. I would like to be able to consolidate this toolbar with other toolbars, to save much needed screen space.
3. My dream come true would be to open several bookmarks at the same time for the same term.

In addition, I would move the Terminology menu from being a menu within a menu all the way down on the list, to being a separate toolbar button in its own right. That's what we want to access all the time and right away. This button should be customizable, and should enable clicking several items at the same time. If you can achieve that, I think you have won the battle. Everything else is cosmetics.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Sandra

We are working on the suggestions you have provided. Basically, we would like to implement a simple bookmarking system, so that all users can add their favorites sites to the toolbar. Odds are that eventually we will use some already existing system, like Google or Yahoo! bookmarks.

If you already have the toolbar, you don't have to worry about updating. The process is automatic. In a couple of weeks there will be some minor modifications, according to the needs of our users' base.

Regards

Marco Cevoli

I have tried to install and use the toolbar with Mozilla Firefox 3.1 beta2 / Windows XP SP2. Unfortunately, I have experienced a severe hang of FF and in a message about insufficient memory when I tried to terminate FF.

When I tried to uninstall the toolbar, I was suggested to answer a short questionnaire, but could not find an option to mention Firefox in experienced technical problem → System.

the problem you experienced can occur for several reasons; you may have some other Firefox add-on/extension that is not compatible with our toolbar. Try disabling all the extensions one by one. If this doesn't work, you can send me (privately) the list of extensions installed on your Firefox and we'll try to help you. With previous versions of Firefox problems like yours were caused by the radio component. Try to disable it when installing the toolbar (I think there's an option there).
